Whoosh! Whoosh! Thump!

Gene and I had our next baby appointment today. All is well so far, and we got to hear the heartbeat again, and a little more. The baby's tiny swish swish heartbeat is now a loud Whoosh! Whoosh! sound. Every now and then there would be a Thud! Apparently, that's the baby kicking around in there. Tiny baby is about 7-8 inches now, and growing like crazy. We did our quad screen blood test today. That's the one that checks for Down's syndrome and neural tube defects. We won't get the results for a few days. The ultrasound is in about a month now. Here's hoping the baby isn't shy.
